Health chiefs have received dozens of suggestions for locations to build the controversial hub.
Bosses behind plans for Shrewsbury Health Hub are narrowing down the locations in advance of a formal consultation in the new year.
"Forty-seven site suggestions were submitted by the stakeholders and public and now 14 remain as possible options," said a spokesman for the NHS in Shropshire, Telford & Wrekin.The spokesman added:"If we don’t find a pragmatic solution to these issues, we risk losing practices altogether." They say that the hub's new estate's model would relieve GPs of this burden as the building would be owned by the local NHS.
"Hubs like this are not a new thing but the location will be important and we need to do the work on that."Heath leaders say GP premises in Shrewsbury are in varying conditions; some are not fit for purpose and/or have insufficient space to meet demand.
